FromTA: "there is nothing inherently dangerous in the mere act of photographing people, children included, in the anonymity of a public space" In times past public space anonymity was a thing. Now it isn't. In a world of social media, surveillance, face detection, viral topics, polarisation of debate - the effects of social chilling are very real. Street photography is but a victim of this social chilling, sad as it is. I am willing to bet, that if a person was aware of every camera as they walked down the street AND THEY COULD TURN THEM OFF/DELETE FOOTAGE they would absolutely do so. To put it another way, if I could wear a magical badge on my shirt that prevented such imagery of me, I would wear it all the time. Take away the ability to easily share an image of me with everyone in the world, and I would be less concerned about images of me.
